Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 64
The stout man said: "Huazhi, the Shenmu tribe said they live at the foot of the mountain, let's go down the mountain and look for it along the foot of the mountain."

Another person wiped the sweat from his neck, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Who knows where they are at the foot of the mountain, we should have left someone to guide us."

The slender man muttered as he walked, "As far as I'm concerned, don't worry about them. After all, they are members of a tribe. They fight back and forth, making other tribes laugh at them."

Huazhi turned to look at him, "Dashu, it seems that you are dissatisfied with the leader's decision?"

Dashu looked at the flower pheasant like an iron tower, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to be dissatisfied, it's up to you to decide."

Huazhi looked at him and said coldly: "It was Yaohu who killed Ahe and others first, and the leader arrested them and went back to open the roof. This is the rule left by the Yaoshan tribe. You should remember it."

To open the top is to bury the person in the soil, use a bone knife to remove the skull, and let the punished person die slowly.This is used to punish the villains who betrayed and killed the clansmen. This is too cruel to Yaohu and the others!
The big tree and the burly man turned their heads to look at the pheasant with surprise on their faces.

The stout man looked at the pheasant, and couldn't bear to say: "Open the top? This is too cruel! After all, they are our clansmen, so we might as well kill them."

"Leopard, I just said that this is a rule passed down by the tribe. Don't forget, our Yaoshan tribe used to be a big tribe like the giant bear tribe." Huazhi shouted angrily.

Leopard lowered his head and hurried on his way silently.

Wasn't the fire fox breaking the Yaoshan tribe's rules?They colluded with Big Ah Mu to take the leader's position. After becoming the leader, except for those who went out to hunt and the young and strong, they could eat enough, and the old people never had enough to eat in the spring.

In winter, the rest will probably be young and strong.Dashu slandered, striding forward without saying a word.

Yao Xiaoqing went down the mountain with Ah Chong and Ah Shui after getting up early in the morning to practice kung fu, opened the kiln to shovel out the oyster ashes, and loaded the last batch of shells into the kiln chamber.More than a dozen large kilns were fired together, and it took only two days to burn all the shells that had piled up into mountains into oyster ash.

Looking at the mountains of oyster ashes piled up in the bamboo shed, Yao Xiaoqing reckoned that it would be enough to build walls and pens for feeding livestock. After using up these, he began to burn the oyster ashes for building the house.

The wolf came to the kiln on crutches, holding a fishing cage made of rattan and rattan skin in his hand, walked up to Yao Xiaoqing, opened the long fish cage, and said to her with a smile: "Qing Wu, Do you think I make it up?"

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the fish cage about three or four meters long, nodded with a smile, and said, "Wolf, your hands are so skillful, I just gave an outline, and you made it up. I'll let Hua get a piece of it when I go back later." The goat liver is tied with a rope and put in for bait."

Ah Shui came over and looked at the long fish cage, "Can this catch fish? Won't the fish come out?"

Yao Xiaoqing pointed to the tapered entrances at both ends of the fish cage and said: "This position has a large entrance and a small exit, and there are thin bamboo strips woven inside, so the fish and shrimp come out after entering."

Ah Shui's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Xiaoqing, I'll go up the mountain to get bait, put the fish cage in the river and try it out, and if it works, I'll weave some more."

Seeing him excited like a child, Yao Xiaoqing laughed, "Go! Keep the bait inside so that it doesn't fall off."

Ah Shui nodded, and walked back carrying the fish cage.

The wolf looked at the firewood piled up in front of the kiln, "Qing Wu, Uncle Chong, hurry up and let me watch over here."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded and said, "Alright, Uncle Chong is going to help Father and the others dig the foundation. I'll go and have a look in the field."

In the past two days, Shan'am and the others have come to open up wasteland when they are free. They have opened up two acres of land, one acre is full of taro, and Yao Xiaoqing plans to plant those yams and beans on the remaining one acre.

But she had never planted yams by herself in her previous life, so she thought it should be similar to the way of planting taro!

Yao Xiaoqing picked up the stone hoe and began to dig the ridge of the field. The stone hoe was clumsy and heavy. When the soil was excavated, a small lump of soil was dug up. After digging for a long time, the half ridge was formed.She simply returned to the mountain with a stone hoe, and went down the mountain with a wooden shovel.

Insert the wooden shovel into the soil, step on the edge of the shovel, and pry it hard, and the shovel lifts up several times more soil than the stone hoe.By the time the food gatherers came back, Yao Xiaoqing had already dug seven or eight ridges.

Yaohu and Mu Feng passed by the ground a few times, and said to her with a smile: "Xiaoqing, the foundation on the south side will be dug this afternoon, so why don't you go and see the position of the gate left by my father?"

A few people went back to the place where Yaohu left the courtyard gate. Yao Xiaoqing thought to himself after looking at it: In the past life, the house in the countryside was particular about facing south, and it was just right for them to leave the courtyard wall on the south side.He smiled and said, "Father, this position is good, so I'll stay here."

Yaohu smiled and nodded, "Okay, work harder this afternoon and dig all the foundations here."

Everyone smiled and replied: "Yes."

Mu Feng looked at the wooden shovel in her hand, raised the engineer shovel and said, "Xiaoqing, the wooden shovel is fine for plowing the soft soil, but you need your shovel for the hard soil below."

She nodded at the side, "Yes! The shovel of the gods is easy to use, and we can make it as well."

Yaohu smiled and tapped him on the head, "Dream, boy! This is a weapon of the gods, and it is a great thing for you to use it."

Yao Xiaoqing complained in her heart: If you want to make such a shovel, let alone this life, even the next life, you don’t even know if you haven’t reached the previous life!
When you can find iron or copper or something, it will be considered good.

well!take it easy!You have to eat the food one bite at a time, otherwise you will choke to death if you eat too fast.

A group of people returned to the mountain talking and laughing. Hua and Shan'am and the others had already prepared the food, wild vegetable soup, sophora japonica cake, and they smelled a fresh fragrance when they were served.

Since Yao Xiaoqing taught them to steam the Sophora japonica cake with kudzu powder and duck eggs last time, everyone thinks it tastes good.Shan Amu and the others started picking flower petals and came back to steam flower cakes for eating.This time I picked a lot and came back, and I also dried a few dustpans in the yard.

Yaohu and the others went down the mountain to get busy after eating.Yao Xiaoqing walked down the mountain with Yuzi and A Su carrying yams, yam beans, wooden shovels and buckets.

Taro and Asu dug the field ridges, and Yao Xiaoqing pried the nests with a small wooden shovel, leaving one nest at a distance of one step.

Feeling that the soil is still moist, Yao Xiaoqing didn't water it, pried out the nest and put a yam bean in each nest, and then covered it with a layer of soil.

For yams, dig a few deeper ditches on the field ridges and bury the yams in the soil.Fearing that the yams would be blocked in the field, only two ridges were planted.

Several people were so busy until the sun went down that they finally planted the yams and beans.

Yaohu and the others dug the foundation and sat there to rest. Ah Shui thought of the fish cages in the river and said to Ah Chong, "Let's go to the river to see if there are any fish in the fish cages?"

"Okay!" Ah Chong got up and followed Ah Shui towards the river.

Yao Xiaoqing and Yuzi walked back carrying baskets and wooden shovels when they suddenly heard a roar from the trap.

Yao Xiaoqing shouted: "Not good, someone is here, go and call my father and the others."
